One Last Try

When Nox was fourteen, his brother Joth murdered their older brother, their mother, and a human girl. Nox survived, but the attack wrecked his womb. Shattered, Nox rejected the pack who fumbled helping a barren, grief-stricken omega cope. He built a new purpose for himself as a master craftsman. Mating? No thanks. Hes better off alone. Humans studied Joth in prison until his fathers death ended the weekly visits. Joth demands Nox in their fathers stead in exchange for resuming therapy and tests thereby risking the destruction of Noxs carefully ordered world. Again.
